The Dellota Comoda with Kneeler and Altar

Item Details

Description

1880s
Balayong and Narra
H: 57 1/2” x L : 31” x W: 26 1/2” (146 cm x 79 cm x 67 cm)

Provenance:
Lourdes Dellota

This unusual piece of furniture is the only one of its kind in the country. It is a small, low and narrow comoda combined with a prie dieu or kneeler with a built-in altar in the form of a tabernacle. The two doors of the cabinet are surmounted by a pair of drawers topped by an altar tabernacle on a stepped platform. At first glance, the piece imparts a primitive look which is belied by a closer inspection of the carvings and the wealth of decoration lavished on the piece.

Four turned feet, the upper turnings of which are carved with acanthus leaves, bear the lower frame of the cabinet that juts forward to form the kneeler. Flanking it sideways are graceful, elegantly fluid S-scrolls that extend all the way up to seemingly support the drawer frame that also serves as an elbow-rest when at prayer. The scrolls, carved like the side flanges of colonial altars, make the kneeler look like an elaborate church bench.

The recessed doors of the comoda are made up of two panels.The lower, horizontal one, decorated with quarter sunbursts atthe corners, has a central flower and a trefoil leaf on either side imposed on a reeded background. The almost-square upper plank has a corbel-arched panel, repeated in a beaded molding at the inner edge of the door frame. The upper corners of the frame are carved with a bunch of leafy scrolls.

The drawer faces have turned pulls and incised carving that mimic the border on the lower door panel. On each side of the comoda is a vertical central panel carved with a stylized vase sprouting leafy scrolls.

The platform atop the cabinet opens to reveal secret drawers with brass rings for drawer pulls. At the back a tabernacle with a pair of carved twisted columns support an openwork pediment that is carved with a double-headed eagle flanked by scrolls that terminate in buds, open flowers and thistles. On either side of the tabernacle are vertical openwork panels with similar interlacing scrolls that resemble the carved, reticulated panels that support stair balustrades of late 19th century houses in Iloilo and Negros.
